Bowyer snaps 190
race losing streak

M A RT I N S V I L L E ,
Va. — When snow at
Martinsville
Speedway
gave NASCAR a rare day
off, Clint Bowyer loaded
his car with kids and drove
them to North Carolina for a
day at the Hall of Fame.
As Bowyer returned
to the track for Monday’s
rescheduled race, he told his
3-year-old son he wanted to
take a picture with him in
victory lane.
Cash Bowyer told his
father he wanted a check-
ered flag.
Both father and son got
their wish.
Bowyer snapped a
190-race losing streak
dating to 2012 with a domi-
nating victory at Martins-
ville Speedway. Monday’s
win continued the strong
start to the NASCAR
season for Stewart-Haas
Racing, which has won four
of the first six races to start
the year.
“For whatever reason,
it felt right driving up here.
It’s such a cool place to be
able to drive up through the
countryside on a two-lane
road and think about the
race,” Bowyer said. “I told
(Cash) this morning, I was
like, ‘Dammit, we’ve got
to get our picture in victory
lane.’ He told me he wanted
a checkered flag.
“He’s really proud of
that checkered flag!” Clint
Bowyer said as the toddler
waived the flag, and then
leaned his head on his
father’s shoulder.
Bowyer then went into
the stands to greet the fans
who returned to Martinsville
two days after a snowstorm
pushed all track activity to
Monday.
Bowyer’s victory was
his first driving for SHR,
the team he joined as
Tony Stewart’s replacement
last year. The move to
SHR was supposed to turn
Bowyer’s fortunes around,
but his struggles continued
through his first year in the
No. 14 Ford.
He finally figured it
out on the short track in
Virginia and won for the
first time since his victory at
Charlotte in October 2012.
Bowyer had led just
145 combined laps the last
four years and bettered that
Monday with 215 laps led
and his first career Martins-
ville victory.
It was the ninth career
victory for Bowyer, but first
since he was a legitimate
title contender in 2012
before the bottom fell out.
He was snared in a cheating
scandal with Michael
Waltrip Racing, that team
never recovered and folded,
and Bowyer has been trying
to find his footing since.
He thanked Gene Haas
and Stewart for bringing
him to SHR.
“To give this old dog a
fresh chance and fresh blood
with a new opportunity
— finally to get the 14 in
victory lane is just a weight
off the shoulders,” Bowyer
said. “It’s been a long time.
You start to question if you
can get it done or not.”
Bowyer began his
celebratory burnout before
he completed a cool-down
lap, and then climbed on
the hood of his cars with
his arms raised in victory.
He jumped into the arms of
his SHR crew, and then was
met by his son, who had
never before seen his father
win a Cup race.
Cash Bowyer exchanged
high-fives with the SHR
crew then sat on top of the
winning car. Later, in victory
lane, Clint Bowyer hugged
the Martinsville signature
trophy grandfather clock,
chugged several beers, and
let his son soak in his first
post-race celebration.
“I wanted that damn
clock,” Bowyer said. “How
are we going to get it home?
What do you do? I’m going
to ratchet strap it to my
wife’s SUV. We’re going to
be the Clampetts with our
trophy ratchet strapped to
the roof of the SUV, but it’s
coming home.”
MILWAUKIE — The
Pendleton Buckaroos began
their spring break week with
a pair of tough games at the
Happy Valley Tournament
on Monday, but in both the
Buckaroos came out on top.
Pendleton began its day with
a 3-2 victory over McMinn-
ville and finished with a 8-2
win over Clackamas at Hood
View Park.
Lauren Richards pitched
both games for the Buckaroos
(5-1) and had a really solid day
with a combined 22 strikeouts
and only seven hits, four runs
and four walks allowed. She
helped herself out against
Clackamas by smacking a big
double in the second inning.
Against
McMinnville,
the game was tied 2-2 in the
sixth inning when interna-
tional tiebreak rules had to
be enforced because of a
time limit. That meant the
Bucks began the sixth with a
runner on second base, Aspen
Garton, and Garton was
bunted over to third by Rylee
Gentner and then scored the
winning run one batter later
on an error by McMinn-
ville’s third baseman. Kalan
McGlothan was Pendleton’s
top hitter in that game, going
3-for-3 at the plate.
Then against Clackamas,
Garton blasted a three-run
home run — her fourth of
the season and fourth in the
last four games — as part of
Pendleton’s seven-run second
inning to grab the advantage
in the game. Kirah McGlo-
than had a triple in the game
and Kila Solomon finished
2-for-3.
Pendleton finishes up the
tournament on Tuesday with
a game against La Salle Prep
at 10 a.m. and a game against
Madison at 3 p.m.

finished up their first day at
the Happy Valley Tournament
on Monday by splitting their
two games. The Bulldogs
started the day with a 9-2
victory over Molalla and then
wrapped up the day with a
9-1 loss to Hillsboro, which
marked Hermiston’s first loss
of the season.
The Bulldogs (4-1) finish

and then ended the day by
thumping Marshfield 15-1.

Milton-Freewater.
From Saturday
Baseball
HERMISTON — One day
removed from its 13-3 victory
over Lakeridge, Hermiston
went right back to work on
Saturday, and this time in
better conditions.
Under the afternoon sun
at Armand Larive Middle
School, the Bulldogs held
their own against a tough
opponent in the Kennewick
Lions, but came up short in a
8-2 Lions’ victory.
“Kennewick capitalized
on our errors,” head coach
Kevin Moore said of the loss.
“When a team gives you outs,
you better take advantage of it
and unfortunately that’s what
happened to us.”
After a scoreless opening
inning for both teams, the
Braves (5-1) got out to an
early lead in the second when
Kaleb Stevenson hit grounded
out for the team’s second out
but not before Easton Stevens
scored for the 1-0 advantage.
The
Bulldogs
(2-2)
answered with two runs of
their own, a RBI single off
the bat of Brylee Dufloth and
a sacrifice fly from Jordan
Ramirez to bring home Caden
Schwirse. However, Kenne-
wick struck for two more runs
in the fourth and added five
more runs over the final two
frames to keep the Bulldogs
away.
Wyatt Noland, Daniel
Gossler and Dufloth all fared
well at the plate despite
Hermiston’s loss. All three
batters went 2-for-3 and each
notched at least one single.
Lukas Tolan was given the
loss after going four innings
allowing three runs on seven
hits with a long strike out and
one walk.
The Bulldogs will return
to the diamond Thursday in
the Volcano Stadium Tourney
at Salem-Keizer Volcano
Stadium.

STANFIELD
14-16,

TigerScots in Saturday’s
doubleheader, 14-16 to 7-3.
In Game 1, Weston-
McEwen scored six runs in
the third inning to take a 7-4
lead. However, the TigerScots
couldn’t hold it as the Tigers

innings run away with the
lead.
For the Tigers offense,

with three RBI and two runs
scored, Justin Keeney was
2-for-4 with a triple, two runs

For

Garrett Shell had a team-best
two hits with a double, adding
two runs scored and two RBI.
In Game 2, Stanfield (3-3)
scored seven runs in the first
three innings and another in
the fourth to put the Tigers
a pair of runs away from
ending the day early. Weston-
McEwen (1-4) was finally
able to get on the board in the
bottom of the fifth.
Michael Connell and
Brody Woods led the Tigers’
offense with three hits apiece,
with Connell contributing
a double, two runs and two
RBI and Woods with two
triples, two RBI and one run.

UMATILLA 6, LOST
RIVER 4 — At John Day,
the Umatilla Vikings trailed
4-2 as they came to bat in
the top of the sixth inning but
rallied for four runs and hung
on to beat Lost River 6-4 at
the Iron Triangle Tournament
on Saturday.
In the sixth, back-to-back
singles from Uriel Garcia
and Seth Cranston set up an
RBI single from Kole Keller
to cut the deficit to 4-3. A
few pitches later, Cranston
stole home to tie the game at
4-4. But the tie score didn’t
last long, as a groundout by
Josh Brown scored Keller to
put the Vikings (4-1) in front
5-4 and an RBI single from
Noah Holford brought in an
insurance run with a 6-4 lead.
Cody Samson had a stellar
day on the mound, tossing 6
1/3 innings with 12 strikeouts
while allowing six hits and
four runs. He nearly threw a
complete game, but allowed a
triple and a walk to Lost River
(1-3) in the seventh to end
his day. Cranston came on in
relief and induced a pop fly
out and earned a strikeout for
the save.
Cranston was 3-for-3 at
the plate to lead the Vikings,
hitting a solo home run in the
fourth inning. Moises Garci-
lazo, James Wilson, Samson
and Holford each had two hits
for the Vikings.

PILOT
ROCK
ROCKETS — The Pilot
Rock Rockets hosted the
Rocket
Invitational
on
Saturday and welcomed
Enterprise, Lost River and
Vernonia.
The Rockets faced the
Enterprise Outlaws and the
Lost River Raiders for a
doubleheader and handily
defeated both teams.
First against Lost River,
Pilot Rock’s hitting was on
display as the Rockets won
10-3. In Game 2, the 11-1
win moved their record to 3-1
overall.
MAC-HI 2-13, BANKS
4-9 — At Seaside, the Mac-Hi
Pioneers split a doubleheader
with the Banks Braves on
Saturday, dropping the opener
4-2 and winning the closer
13-9.
The Pioneers managed
just five hits in the first game,
led by Ashlyn Marly with an
RBI and Graci Bullock with a
triple. In Game 2, the Pioneers
trailed 7-6 as they came to
bat in the seventh inning but
exploded for seven runs in the
frame to steal the win.
The seven-run inning
was highlighted by Graci
Bullock’s grand slam, her
third extra-base hit of the day.
Ashlyn Marly also homered
in the game and Faith Kelly
had a team-best four hits.
Tennis
KENNEWICK — Both
the Hermiston boys and girls
tennis teams played future
Mid-Columiba Conference
foe Kennewick, but it was the
boys that would make the trip
to the Tri Cities to face the
Braves.
After coming off a five-
plus hour day Friday when
the Bulldogs picked up their
first win of the season, they
dropped Saturday’s match
6-2.
Hermiston got its only
wins in doubles play, and one
was by forfeit due to Kenne-
wick only fielding a 10-man
team.
Matt Eckhard and Austin
Garcia defeated the Braves’
duo of Wesley Chen and Erik
Vettergren 6-2, 7-5; and Alan
Zepeda and Josue Cardenas
won by forfeit but managed to
get time on the court in after
going against Noah Durst and
Zarryn Duony and won 6-4,
4-6, 6-10.
The Bulldogs struggled in
singles play and were swept
by the Braves. Jason Morris
and Eli Munoz were the only
players to win sets again their
respective Kennewick oppo-
nents. Morris fell 0-6, 1-6 to
Tan Nguyen and Munoz 3-6,
3-6 to Darren Thompson.
